House and Senate lawmakers moved closer on Wednesday to new reforms to help fix problems with the Department of Veterans Affairs’ medical facilities.

The House approved legislation to convene a conference committee on the two VA-focused bills that would allow veterans to seek private care if they waited longer than a “standard” period of time for treatment. The bill would also give VA leadership the ability to fire department officials found to be involved with misconduct or who are under-performing.

The Senate is expected to name its conference members later on Wednesday.

The two sides will hash out differences between legislation authored by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and Miller, the chairman of the House Veterans Affairs Committee.

There are slight differences between the House and Senate versions of the VA legislation. The Senate version includes language to create more than two dozen more veterans health facilities across the country.

Also likely to be discussed is the cost of sending veterans to private facilities. The Congressional Budget Office said the provision would cost $35 billion over the next decade.

There is no timeline for the conference to conclude and no votes in the House or Senate are currently scheduled on the measure. But Congress has been eager to push through reforms on the VA.
